Chicken Koop an' Possum Chase

Possum time?
Dahky take up de trail.
Rahbit skirtin' thoo de thicket,
In de barn yawd sots de quail.
Cum long de moon,
Den's de time to chase de coon.
Bull frog an' de turtle
In de lagoon hol' commune.

So it's 'joice yo'se'ves, chillun,
Fros' er stickin' to de vine,
Possum an' de coon time!
Dahky, fall in line.

Th'ow erside de banjo,
Chillun stop de fiddle whine,
Spawkin' an' er courtin',
An' yo' dancin' monkey shine.

An' yo' tase yo' li'l' gin,

Till yo' chased de possum in.

Dah er bakin' in de grease.

An' de breezes got er moan;
